animate() a slider's value?

animate() a slider's value?


Hi -- I don't seem to be able to figure this out. This works:
$sl = $("#slider");
$sl.sliderMoveTo(60);
But I would like to animate the movement with the jQuery animate()
functionality:
$sl.animate( { value: 60 }, "slow");
The funny thing is if I add a callback to the animate() function, the
callback gets called:
$sl.animate( { value: 60 }, "slow", null, function()
{ alert("foo"); });
... so I conclude it must be some problem with setting the slider
value directly.
Any help is appreciated.
